  (Photo taken from the Red Bull Twitter/X account) So before I get into this, I just want to say that in this post I will be looking at ALL sides of this, guilty or not guilty. Just hang fire there Christian fans. I say this after getting a lot of heat on Twitter/X after I made a silly little joke about the situation. Clearly my sense of humour is not everyone's taste... The situation, as I'm sure you'll all be aware by now, Red Bull Racing F1 Team Principle, Christian Horner, has had some allegations made against him. The allegations include controlling behaviour of a female colleague and sexually suggestive messages being sent. There is also allegedly evidence to back this up which is being investigated outside of Red Bull, with a conclusion being expected before the season opener next week (or this week, or in the past, depending on when you're reading this). Horner has obviously denied the claims and has continued to hold his position, attending the recent testing ...

  (Photo credits unknown to me, obvs not taken by me though...) So before we get cracking, I just need to cover a bit of background information on myself. I live in a small town in Yorkshire with not much going for it (in my opinion obviously). One of the best things about it is the train station so you can leave the place. Even then you can only get to a couple of places without changing trains and you certainly can't leave Yorkshire without making that change.  Now imagine my surprise when I found out that one of the towns the train passes through was home to an F1 champion! Not only an F1 champion but the UK's first F1 champion! The man in question is Mike Hawthorne, 1958 F1 champion with good old Ferrari. John Michael Hawthorn was born in Mexborough, South Yorkshire (just 30 miles from my hometown). His career in Motorsport was really inevitable, with his Dad racing motorcycles and owning a garage that supplied to companies such as Ferrari and Jaguar. His Dad would sa...

  (Photo from Red Bull Racing's Twitter/X) And for the final 2024 car launch, Red Bull released the RB20. It's literally last year's car. That'll be all!  What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments or on my socials, linked below! Twitter/X Instagram

  (Photo from the Mercedes Team Twitter/X) Happy Valentines day you lovely people!  Single or loved up, what better way to celebrate than the penultimate car launch for the 2024 F1 grid. Yeah I know McLaren 'launched' their car as well today but they already did that in January so this ain't about them... So let's talk about the W15! I really like it! It's not my favourite Mercedes livery. I'm aware last year's car didn't perform super well but that livery, hot damn! My emo dream F1 Car... But this one is good and if you just look at it from the angle in the photo above, it's still super emo! Right? Anyway, that's all I have to say about the W15 for now, I'm looking forward to seeing it and all the other cars in action for preseason testing. What are your thoughts on Mercedes challenger for the year? Let me know in the comments or via my socials, linked below. Join me tomorrow for the final car launch (it's Red Bull, let's face it, it...

 (Photo taken from the Ferrari team Twitter/X) Okay so after Carlos spoke out about his future and the fact he feels calm about it, I'm going to cut Ferrari some slack. I still don't understand the choice but he's proven his talent and I'm sure another top team will snap him up for 2025. Anyway, we're here for the car, not contracts. So first off, I was so annoyed at myself because I'd accidentally scheduled a meeting at work for the same time the SF-24 was due to launch. But then the F1 gods looked down on me and the meeting got moved to 3.30pm (and then cancelled altogether, it was great). I said about Aston Martin yesterday, I can't imagine it being any other colour, well the same goes for Ferrari. This car is another classic Ferrari look, the iconic red with streaks of yellow and red added, swooping around the car. I like it but I am getting McDonald's vibes...  I've not seen much reaction to this car with me being at work all day but I have seen...

 (Photo from the Aston Martin Team Twitter/X) We're kicking off the week with another car launch, this time of Aston Martin. I entered the competition they held to be at the launch (obviously I didn't win cause I'd never have shut up about it for the rest of my life) but I didn't realise how early this car was being launched! I'd have had to set off from home at like 4am to get to Silverstone on time for this! Yes, I could have got a hotel nearby to crash in but I'm so skint from buying my ticket for Monza, I'd have to hope for a comfy bench or in the fetal position in the back of my tiny car. Anyway, we're all here for the car, not my life story... It's very similar to last year, a bit more simple perhaps. But, you know what? Why change perfection?!  I love the way the Aston looks. Yeah, I know I go on about how much I love majority black/carbon fibre liveries because I'm emo at heart but the Aston will always hold a place in my heart. This shad...
